Hi, Sorry for barging into the thread, but something just caught my attention. We use Mikrotik throughout our network, and have found them quite useful and with the right hardware, it performs pretty well in our setup. But, there are guys in this forum who are quite frankly, way ahead than myself in terms of both knowledge and experience. So, could you please elaborate why you rate Mikrotik as dumb? Perhaps I am already in trouble! Regards, HASSAN On 5/6/09, Ivan Kalik <tnt@kalik.net> wrote:
How about vpn windows as NAS?
Is that a joke? Windows server would be useless. It can't terminate adsl, at least not much more than one line. So, someone else is going to terminate adsl and send you what via VPN? Accounting? You don't need Windows at all then - just a freeradius server. Or traffic via L2TP tunnels? Your Windows server is going to die with any significant ammount of traffic. Using Windows server as a router is insane. It can work like that - but very, very badly. Even a cheap dumb $50-$100 router like Mikrotik will outperform it by miles.
